Yesterday students received new spelling words for the week. Students have written their list in their journals, and you can also find their words below. Students will be having their spelling test this Thursday, so please make sure you are practicing with them each night.
In math, students have started their subtraction unit. Students learned what it means to subtract two numbers, as well as important rules for subtracting, such as which number always goes first (the bigger number!). Students then learned about three different strategies they can use to solve their subtraction problems. The first strategy is to use manipulatives to make the subtraction problem. A second strategy is to draw a picture. The third strategy is to draw/ use a number line.
Students will be practicing these three strategies over the next two weeks so they can get comfortable with using them independently. If you would like to extend their learning at home, please feel free to give students subtraction questions at home between 0-30 to practice!
